A man who supported and voted for Donald Trump to be the President of the United State of America is crying out for help after his Venezuelan wife was picked up by immigration officers. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids were reportedly conducted across South Florida on Sunday, Jan. 26, as President Trump
If he voted, he should be a citizen and his wife should have a green card. I’m guessing he misspoke about the court date for “citizenship” - maybe there was some technicality there, maybe the paperwork hadn’t gone through yet.
But it’s not surprising. The legal process is far from perfect, and with authoritarian measures like this there’s bound to be people who are caught up in it who shouldn’t be.
You have never interacted with the US immigration system, right?
Even if you marry a US citizen, you aren’t eligible for a green card if you stayed in the country without legal status. You are required to leave the country, wait 10 years for the violation to clear out from your record, apply for a green card at the embassy, wait 2-3 years for approval, and then re-enter the country. Approval is unlikely for anyone with past violations, so I wouldn’t plan on approval anyways.
For the people involved in this, it’s unlikely that they will ever be together again (unless they re-enter the country without papers).
